Spilled gallstones following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A report of two cases

ConclusionThe surgeon should always try to avoid causing a gallbladder perforation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In case that a perforation occurs, the surgeon should meticulously try to collect all –if possible–the spilled gallstones. Patients should always be aware of this event postoperatively. This must also be documented in the discharge notes, in order to assist the early recognition and treatment of any future complications.
